Safari won't let me read more than about five words of your title... "absolutely no time right now..."
Intriguing, but frustrating.
Great story... I'm going to pinch the link, if you don't mind.
I think he's a direct descendant... I wonder what J Keats would make of it.
A few thoughts:
(1) "The future is already here" is the tech-fetish equivalent of "I'm having deja-vu all over again". Like nails on a chalkboard...
(2) Long before the technology to maintain a disembodied brain in any capacity approaching cognition is released commercially, the issue of what human rights apply to said brain will have been addressed (though not necessarily appropriately), probably nullifying any rights conferred to shareholders. Otherwise, the door to slavery is opened anew, wrapped in the shroud of "progress".
(3) This is stupid.
